THE CHARMING LEFORTIER COLLECTION 


ADAME LEFORTIER, so well and favorably known both in 

Paris and New York for her exquisite taste, has now brought 

another collection to America for disposal by the American 
Art Association. 

There are many important French collections from which objects 
have been acquired by Madame Lefortier; amongst them the fol- 
lowing are representative: Prince de Wagram; Madame Rigault; 
the famous actress Sarah Bernhardt; Princesse Louise de Belgique; 
the Comte de Rézé; Hamburger; the famous Lebreton; the Chateau 
de Cormatin, Saone et Loire; the Chateau de Bernonville now occupied 
by M. Clémenceau, Eure et Loire; Chateau de Bazanville, Calvados, 
and the de Gournay, Chateau de Coutrevoult. 

The gathering of beautiful French needlework furniture of the 
XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries is very extensive and of an excep- 
tionally high order; it includes love seats, banquettes, fauteuils, salon 
suites, large and small canapés, state chairs, coffrets and screens ; many 
admirably executed in point St. Cyr, gros- and petit-point, many with 
the blue backgrounds so difficult to find, but so desirable to-day to fall 
in with exclusive decorative schemes. Amongst these is a very charming 
set comprised of a canapé and six fauteuils with Chinese personages 
displayed on the backs, the seats with animals and birds worked in 
point St. Cyr and other points, with rare freshness of color. Another 
set of six needlework grand fauteuils by the famous Parisian XVIIIth 
century chairmaker F. Geny, illustrating episodes in La Fontaine’s 
Fables, deserves especial notice, not only for its beauty but for its 
rarity; six chairs in such fine preservation being exceedingly difficult 
to discover. The Aubusson, Felletin and Flemish tapestry furniture 
is of the same period as the needlework, similar in form and with its 
rich mellow tones and deeper blues and greens forms a charming foil 
to the livelier needlework. 

A number of interesting small XVIIIth century tulipwood and 
other small tables, poudreuses and library tables, two fine commodes 
and several clocks and porcelains add vastly to the ensemble. 

One or two Gothic sculptures and a series of early stained glass 
panels delight with their beautiful rich colors, as does a large array of 
crimson velvet and tapestry cushions. 

A unique and dainty collection of over one hundred and fifty 
French XVIIIth century, old-fashioned stocking-shaped  porte- 


monnaies executed in cut-steel beads, was doubtless hard for Madame 
Lefortier to part with, for they had been patiently gathered as a 
personal pleasure during the last fifteen years from almost every nook 
of France. 

The point de Flandre and d’Angleterre and filet lace covers are 
distinguished by their lovely filmy patterns. 

Amongst the sumptuous textiles and embroideries are several most 
interesting XVIth century needlepaintings with gold and silver threads, 
of quaint charm and mellow colors; others of a later date are naturally 
more brilliant in color, including a marvelous set of late XVIIth cen- 
tury lambrequins with point St. Cyr figure panels and many others 
of equal beauty. Embroidered velvets, brocades and damasks give an 
admirable setting for the important tapestries and lengths of a rare 
Louis XIII crimson damask amounting to about sixty yards claim 
attention, for nothing is more difficult to acquire than these early 
French damasks. 

Over sixty tapestries and large needlework hangings are on view 
and range from the mellow-toned verdures with animals and figures of 
the XVIIth and XVIIIth century Aubusson, Felletin and Flemish to 
the remarkable Armorial Beauvais after Jean Berain, which is so rich 
in its crimson, or the arabesque Gobelins with its very lovely back- 
ground of ravishing sapphire-blue. Two XVIIth century Brussels 
Teniers tapestries appeal as usual with their fine compositions and 
amusing subjects. A rarity is a floral and fruit cover in rich colors 
from the early looms of Paris.

I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by
